yes TB it is and invisible he is<br>I can see that you share my love of [censored] cats<br><br>here feral cats account for some 65 million native birds per annum... which does not augur well for the survival of our unique species of birdlife then there are the 45 million lizards... <br><br>and that is no joke <br><br>..

Worked all day weeding and making pretty a long flower bed by the side of house.<br><br>This morning found a dead bird and pile of terds deposited by one of the 7 cats from next door, I suppose. They also have 2 dogs that deposit on my property too. I do not say anything. Must keep the peace.<br><br>I'd like to get them 7 cat carriers for christmas!<br>Ah, well, such is life.<br><br>* * * * * * * * ** * * *<br>Kate<br>

I like cats as a matter of fact. But nobody should have seven. There are those who consider themselves animal lovers who equate quantity with quality. Hillbillies.<br><br>As for cats, they are what they are. I've never heard of cats tearing children apart like the occasional dog will do, but notwithstanding this, dogs don't seem to engender the raw hatred that cats do. Maybe its because dogs obey, while cats infuriate control freaks by doing what they damn well please.<br><br>I don't own an animal at the moment because I live in a big city and like them too much to want to subject them to car-flattening. Oh, I'm rambling...<br><br>John<br><br>

the cocker spanie(a)l died after 14 years being my best pal and buddie. i missed him so much i didn't get another. couldn't bear the thot of losing one again.<br><br>animal lovers live longer!<br><br>cats are and do what they want, where they want and to whom they want. oh well.<br><br>* * * * * * * * ** * * *<br>Kate<br>

I know it is off topic as cats don't even like apples .. but on the contrary John I don't think you are rambling too much ... yes I think it is a sensible idea not to have animals if you live in the city, in an apartment say.<br>However as a child I have been torn apart and I have seen other children torn apart by cats. They are most vicious when aroused. Though I have equal fears handling any small wild animal .. anyone here tried to handle a screaming, scratching and kicking wild rabbit? kitten?<br>People who have been mauled by dogs have every reason to fear them.<br>Cats I have no problem with if they stay in Persia/Siam/ Burma or wherever they originated.<br>No cat can be tamed or trained ... this is why people have problems with them... those that keep cats are trained by the cats ... not the reverse as the cat owners may think.<br>Dogs can be trained and despite the obvious dangers of such strong and violent beasts they can be and are trained to see themselves as subordinate to their master. This is impossible with cats.<br>Just don't bring any more to Australia as they will only be shot. :)<br><br>..

nothing worse than a dog owner in Manhattan... they have some sort of thing about letting their dogs poop everywhere and anywhere, and often as not they don't clean up after fido... i say we line 'em up and shoot 'em, eh? the owners, of course. heh heh.<br><br>¥À¥

Yes some Municipal Councils have laws regarding dog poop these days and owners are required to carry a poopie shovel and dispose of the deposit carefully wrapped.. <br>I suppose cats have a hard time on asphalt, digging the kitty litter in too.<br> I love animals but i am not so sure we are treating them as we should.<br><br>..
